Semaphore Fish & Chip Shop

Looks good.

Excellent

In short: If you can’t be bothered waiting an hour plus for your fish and chips at Sotos, go here and just ask that they fry your order for a bit longer. E.g “Can you make my order a bit crispier?” The longer review: I have a love hate relationship with this fish and chip shop. The (hand cut) chip quality is really variable. When it’s good, it’s worth a drive from the other side of town for a feed. When it’s bad…it’s really awful. Lately they are tending to really undercook their chips. It has occurred to me that with the current food supply craziness, that both this shop and Sotos are now having to source different potatoes for their raw ingredients. Maybe this new type just doesn’t fry as well? In any case, as someone who goes to both shops, I have noticed that the chips are not their usual crispy fluffiness. However, as someone who has been going to Semaphore for fish and chips for as long as I can remember, this place is one of my favourites of the area. The service and shop itself is basic but honest. The food is good enough. Thanks for feeding us over all these years 💛💛💛

We come for the potato fritters, which are usually great - crunchy, salty, oily - perfect 🙂 However, last visit there was a new staff member and our fritters were not great. Soggy, batter stuck to the paper and to other fritters, not enough salt or vinegar. Disappointing. I get that new staff have to be trained but we travel a long way for authentic potato fritters. Hope they're better next time 🙂

Honestly the very best fish and chips in Adelaide. A rare find but they actually make real chips that taste oh so good. Their other food is delicious also. My favourite is there snitzel packs that have the tastiest gravy ever, it's so good o could bathe in it lol. The steak sandwich/roll is so yummy and they definitely aren't skimpy with the steak and fillings. To be honest I have never been disappointed. My father's favourite food is fish and chips and he too won't go anywhere else, in fact we get food from there at least every fortnight. I highly recommend everything on their menu

Rude staff and their chips were undercooked and tasteless. We were that disappointed with the chips, we threw the majority of them away! The fish was the only nice part of the meal

Fish was beautiful, chips were ok. Dippy dog was wet and oily and potato cakes were still hard/not cooked. Couldn’t eat dippy dog or potato cakes.

Guy who took our order was very quiet but lovely. Older lady who gave us our order was a little rude but in a trying to be funny way. Chips were nice and a decent amount for the price. Any other food such as fish, calamari, potato fritter were extremely greasy and batter not cooked through properly. Overall ok, would give them another shot.

If you are after a bad dinning experience then look no further. Rude service and disgusting food. Fish cake tastes like it was scrapped off the floor. The wedges came with a free deep fried elastic band. All in all, horrible, we put it in the bin and went to Sotos across the road.

We had steak sandwich 🥪 bread was was not toasted properly and not cut hubby had a yiros no flavour at all hardly any salad we have been coming here 4 many years they have the best fish and chips ever
